Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Baidu’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Baidu uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Baidu, non-GAAP net margin, non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Baidu believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its recurring core business operating results, such as operating performance excluding non-cash charges or non-operating in nature. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Baidu’s historical performance and liquidity. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant component in the Company’s results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to the Company’s data.

Non-GAAP operating income represents operating income excluding share-based compensation expenses, and amortization and impairment of intangible assets resulting from business combinations.

Non-GAAP net income attributable to Baidu represents net income attributable to Baidu excluding share-based compensation expenses, amortization and impairment of intangible assets resulting from business combinations, disposal gain or loss, impairment of long-term investments, and fair value gain or loss of long-term investments, adjusted for related income tax effects. Baidu’s share of equity method investments for these non-GAAP reconciling items, amortization and impairment of intangible assets not on the investees’ books, accretion of their redeemable non-controlling interests, and the gain or loss associated with the issuance of shares by the investees at a price higher or lower than the carrying value per share, adjusted for related income tax effects, are also excluded.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per ADS represents diluted earnings per ADS calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to Baidu, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares expressed in ADS. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income excluding depreciation, amortization and impairment of intangible assets resulting from business combinations, and share-based compensation expenses.

CHICAGO, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OppFi Inc. (NYSE: OPFI) (“OppFi” or the “Company”), a tech-enabled digital finance platform that partners with banks to offer financial products and services to everyday Americans, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“Operationally, OppFi had a healthy start to 2026, generating record first-quarter revenue, which reflects the strength of our core operations. Strategically, we believe 2026 is a pivotal year of investment for OppFi as we evolve the business with the transformative combination of OppFi’s digital-first platform and BNC’s national bank charter. This initiative unlocks significant opportunities for growth and product diversification. Combining our operations under unified regulatory supervision by the OCC and Federal Reserve simplifies and strengthens our compliance and risk management, which positions us for long-term scalability and sustainable growth,” said Todd Schwartz, CEO and Executive Chairman of OppFi. Our new share repurchase program reflects our continued confidence in OppFi’s long-term growth prospects, our commitment to returning value to our stockholders and belief that our stock currently trades at a significant discount to its underlying value,” Todd Schwartz added.

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average receivables is presented as an annualized metric.

Share Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, OppFi repurchased 1,040,699 shares of Class A Common Stock, which were held as treasury stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $9.9 million at an average purchase price per share of $9.54. As of March 31, 2026, $11.0 million of the repurchase authorization under the Company’s prior repurchase program remained available. On May 6, 2026, the Board of Directors of OppFi approved a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $40 million of its Class A Common Stock. This new program replaces the Company’s prior share repurchase program, which was terminated.

Repurchases under the new program may be made from time to time on the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or via other methods, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other relevant legal requirements. The timing and amount of repurchases will depend on market conditions, share price, trading volume and other factors. The new program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares, and it may be extended, modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

Conference Call

Management will host a conference call today at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss OppFi’s financial results and business outlook. The webcast of the conference call will be made available on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s website.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. OppFi’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “opportunity,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “possible,” “continue,” “positions,” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, OppFi’s expectations with respect to its full year 2026 guidance, the future performance of OppFi’s platform and underwriting models, statements regarding OppFi’s proposed acquisition of BNCC, including the anticipated timing, structure, benefits and strategic rationale of such transactions, OppFi’s expectations with respect to the geographic expansion and product diversification that may come from the acquisition, and expectations for OppFi’s growth and future financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on OppFi’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside OppFi’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the impact of general economic conditions, including economic slowdowns, inflation, interest rate changes, recessions, the impact of tariffs, and tightening of credit markets on OppFi’s business; the impact of challenging macroeconomic and marketplace conditions; the impact of stimulus or other government programs; risks related to the proposed acquisition of BNCC including the risk that the transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all and the risk of integration or execution challenges; whether OppFi will be successful in obtaining declaratory relief against the Commissioner of the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation for the State of California; whether OppFi will be subject to AB 539; whether OppFi’s bank partners will continue to lend in California and whether OppFi’s financing sources will continue to finance the purchase of participation rights in loans originated by OppFi’s bank partners in California; OppFi’s ability to scale and grow the Bitty business; the impact that events involving financial institutions or the financial services industry generally, such as actual concerns or events involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance, may have on OppFi’s business; risks related to any material weakness in OppFi’s internal controls over financial reporting; the ability of OppFi to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; risks related to new products; risks related to evaluating and potentially consummating acquisitions; concentration risk; risks related to OppFi’s ability to comply with various covenants in its corporate and warehouse credit facilities; risks related to potential litigation; changes in applicable laws or regulations, including, but not limited to, impacts from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act; the possibility that OppFi may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in OppFi’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, in particular, contained in the section captioned “Risk Factors.” OppFi cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and readers should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. OppFi does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that are unaudited and do not conform to GAAP, such as Adjusted EBT, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS. Adjusted EBT is defined as Net Income, adjusted for (1) income tax expense; (2) change in fair value of warrant liabilities; (3) other adjustments, net; and (4) other income. Adjusted Net Income is defined as Adjusted EBT as defined above, adjusted for taxes assuming a tax rate for each period presented that reflects the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% and a blended statutory rate for state income taxes, in order to allow for a comparison with other publicly traded companies. Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income as defined above, divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding, which represents shares of both classes of common stock outstanding and includes the impact of dilutive securities, such as restricted stock units, performance stock units, and stock options. These non-GAAP financial measures have not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. OppFi believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. These non-GAAP measures with comparable names should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for reconciliations for OppFi’s non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Raises 2026 Outlook

2026 outlook now reflects revenue growth of 40%-45%% and gross margins of approximately 27-28%, supported by record backlog, expanded capacity, and improving operational execution

TULSA, Okla., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AAON, INC. (NASDAQ-AAON), a leader in high-performing, energy-efficient HVAC solutions that bring long-term value to customers and owners, today announced its results for the first quarter of 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Results

Net sales for the first quarter of 2026 increased 54.3% to $496.9 million, from $322.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. This growth was driven by strong demand across both the AAON and BASX brands, and accelerating production throughput made possible by investments made in capacity and operational execution. BASX-branded sales increased 72.4% to $228.6 million, reflecting continued strength in data center cooling demand, higher production volumes, and increased utilization of recently commissioned capacity. AAON-branded sales increased 41.6% to $268.4 million, supported by a strong backlog and accelerating production rates. Booking activity remained solid across both brands, supporting continued share gains and elevated backlog levels. BASX-branded products ended the quarter with backlog up 160.0%, while AAON‑branded bookings demonstrated continued resilience in a softer market environment.

Gross profit margin in the quarter was 25.1%, compared to 26.8% in the prior-year period. The year‑over‑year decline reflected unabsorbed fixed costs associated with recent capacity investments, temporary outsourcing used to support accelerated growth, and transitory price and cost timing dynamics. These effects are intentional and temporary, and are expected to unwind as internal capacity scales and utilization improves.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales declined 220 basis points to 13.7%, demonstrating strong operating leverage and disciplined cost management.

Earnings per diluted share were $0.48, an increase of 37.1% from $0.35 in the first quarter of 2025.

“First‑quarter results demonstrate strong earnings growth driven by higher volume, improved execution, and continued share gains,” said President and CEO Matt Tobolski. “We delivered record sales, improved cash flow, and higher production throughput across our manufacturing network. Importantly, the additional volume we are taking on is carrying attractive incremental contribution, allowing earnings to grow while we intentionally sequence margin improvement during this phase of capacity ramp.

“Our backlog provides exceptional visibility, particularly across the BASX-brand, and positions us to drive continued growth as we move through the year. At the same time, increasing utilization across existing capacity is expected to support margin improvement over time as fixed costs are absorbed, equipment comes fully online, and productivity continues to improve.

“As we progress through 2026, our priorities are clear and unchanged. Drive throughput, convert backlog, and deliver disciplined margin progression over time. We have built the foundation, and we are now focused on converting that foundation into durable earnings power and long-term returns.”

Total backlog increased 107.4% year-over-year to $2.13 billion, and increased 16.5% sequentially. The sequential growth was driven entirely by the BASX brand, with backlog increasing 24.4% from the prior quarter. Sustained data center demand and BASX’s custom-engineered solutions continue to support share gains. As planned, AAON-branded products backlog declined sequentially 3.1%, reflecting a deliberate increase in production to address extended lead times, with manufacturing output exceeding order intake during the quarter. Order activity of AAON equipment remained solid, supporting continued share gains despite softer end-market conditions.

2026 Outlook

Dr. Tobolski concluded, “We are encouraged by the start of the year and the momentum we are seeing across the business. Backlog and demand remain exceptionally strong, providing the visibility and stability needed to maintain a sharp focus on execution, production ramp‑up, and customer fulfillment. We are pleased with the benefits we are starting to see from operational investments, and we have meaningful opportunity ahead to further increase production volumes and enhance productivity, which support improved results over time.

“We now expect 2026 sales to grow 40%-45%, with gross margin of 27%-28%, reflecting intentional ramp decisions early in the year and improving margin as utilization and productivity increases through the year. We anticipate SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales will be 14%-15% and expect depreciation and amortization expenses of $95-$100 million.”

25.1 %

Net sales for the AAON Oklahoma segment totaled $244.0 million, an increase of 50.7% year-over-year, driven by a strong starting backlog and ongoing production enhancements that improved backlog conversion despite a challenging industry environment. First‑quarter 2026 results also benefited from an easier year‑over‑year comparison, as the prior‑year period was disrupted by the industry’s refrigerant transition, contributing to regained market share.

Gross margin for the segment was 26.3%, compared to 25.1% in the first quarter of 2025. Overhead expenses associated with the new Memphis facility impacted segment margin by $9.8 million.  Excluding these costs, segment margins were 29.6%.  During the quarter, the segment was impacted by elevated outsourcing levels, price‑cost timing dynamics, and tariff‑related costs, all of which are temporary and do not change the long-term earnings power of the segment.

Net sales for the AAON Coil Products segment totaled $117.6 million, up 25.1% compared to the same period last year. Growth was driven primarily by BASX-branded liquid cooling sales of $93.2 million, up 40.5% during the period, while AAON‑branded sales declined 11.8% year-over-year.

AAON Coil Products gross margin was 24.1%, declining year-over-year from 31.8%, but increasing sequentially from 21.3%. The sequential margin expansion reflected improved operating leverage on higher throughput at the Longview facility, including a favorable mix of higher-margin BASX sales.

Net sales for the BASX segment increased 104.5% to $135.4 million from $66.2 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year growth reflected strong demand for data center equipment, supported by robust order intake and elevated backlog levels. Increased production from the Company’s new Memphis facility played a key role by expanding capacity and driving higher sales volumes.

BASX segment gross margin was 23.9%, unchanged from the prior-year period. Margin stability reflected strong volume growth, offset by incremental resources and investments to support future growth and share gains. These incremental costs also contributed to the sequential margin contraction.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

As of March 31, 2026, the company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1.1 million and a balance on its revolving credit facility of $425.2 million. Andy Cheung, CFO and Treasurer, commented, “During the first quarter, operating cash flow totaled $34.0 million, representing the highest level since the third quarter of 2024. This improvement reflected higher earnings and enhanced working capital efficiency. Capital expenditures totaled $52.9 million, primarily reflecting continued investments in incremental capacity to support future growth. As improvements in profitability and productivity continue, we expect these trends to support stronger cash flow and a healthier balance sheet over time.”

Conference Call

The company will host a conference call and webcast this morning at 9:00 a.m. EST to discuss the first quarter of 2026 results and outlook. The conference call will be accessible via dial-in for those who wish to participate in Q&A as well as a listen-only webcast. The dial-in is accessible at 1-888-880-3330.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), additional non-GAAP financial measures are provided and reconciled in the following tables. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results. The company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure enhances the ability of investors to analyze the company’s business trends and operating performance as they are used by management to better understand operating performance. Since adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures and are susceptible to varying calculations, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin, as presented, may not be directly comparable with other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income

The company defines non-GAAP adjusted net income as net income adjusted for any infrequent events, such as litigation settlements, net of profit sharing and tax effect, in the periods presented.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to non-GAAP adjusted net income for the periods indicated:

EBITDA

EBITDA (as defined below) is presented herein and reconciled from the GAAP measure of net income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator of a company’s ability to internally fund operations. The company defines EBITDA as net income, plus (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) interest expense (income), net and (3) income tax expense. EBITDA is not a measure of net income or cash flows as determined by GAAP. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

The company’s EBITDA measure provides additional information which may be used to better understand the company’s operations. EBITDA is one of several metrics that the company uses as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of its business and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, as an indicator of operating performance. Certain items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance. EBITDA, as used by the company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The company believes that EBITDA is a widely followed measure of operating performance and is one of many metrics used by the company’s management team and by other users of the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA adjusted by items in non-GAAP adjusted net income, above, except for taxes, as taxes are already excluded from EBITDA.

Tetrous® Wins “Most Exciting New Product” Award at Shoulder 360™

Published

on

By

Following its ACE (Advancing Cutting-Edge) Award win in 2024, Tetrous is recognized once again, this time by Shoulder 360™ for its EnFix® product line.

LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tetrous, Inc., an emerging leader in orthopedic sports medicine innovation, today announced it has been awarded “Most Exciting New Product” at Shoulder 360, recognizing the company’s continued advancement in solutions for bone-to-tendon healing.

This latest honor builds on Tetrous’ earlier recognition at the AOSSM Annual Meeting, where the company received the prestigious ACE (Advancing Cutting-Edge) Award in 2024—a distinction given to breakthrough technologies with the potential to meaningfully improve patient outcomes in sports medicine. Shoulder 360™ is the pre-eminent forum meeting annually to educate the spectrum of health care providers caring for patients with shoulder disorders.

Tetrous’ product line, including EnFix RC®, EnFix TAC-O®, EnFix TAC-T®, and EnFix ACL™, is designed to address longstanding challenges in orthopedic soft tissue repair, particularly in procedures such as rotator cuff repair, where failure rates remain a significant concern. Restoring the bone-to-tendon interface, known as the enthesis, ultimately determines healing and long-term success.

Tetrous offers the only demineralized bone fiber (DBF) implant designed specifically for placement within bone at the bone-tendon interface, supplying the biological drivers for repair. When the mineral component is removed from allograft bone, the bone morphogenic proteins (i.e. growth factors) are exposed, allowing them to help stimulate new tissue formation. The peg design of EnFix allows surgeons to place the implant directly into the bone at the repair site, while the internal cannulation allows bone marrow cells to access the implant and initiate healing.

Significant Commercial Progress
Since receiving its prior “technology” award, Tetrous has demonstrated significant commercial and clinical progress:

Expanded to more than 100 surgeon users with three times year over year surgeon growthSurpassed 3,500 implanted devices, reflecting strong clinical adoptionExpanded clinical use of EnFix across multiple anatomical enthesesCompleted first cases with EnFix ACL for Anterior Cruciate Ligament ReconstructionScaled distribution internationally, with active markets in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, and planned expansion into Taiwan

Raffy Mirzayan, MD, DOCS Health, Clinical Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at USC Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, and Co-Founder of Shoulder360 said: “Shoulder360 was proud to award the ‘Most Exciting New Product/Service Award’ for 2026 to Tetrous. The winner of the award is voted on by surgeon attendees. Tetrous stood out for its efforts to highlight Enthesis healing with its exciting new EnFix product.”

“The rapid pace of adoption we’ve seen in the past year is incredibly encouraging,” said John Bojanowski, Director and Chief Commercial Officer. “Surpassing 3,500 implants and expanding internationally are strong indicators that surgeons recognize the value of what Tetrous is bringing to the OR.”

“Our recognition at Shoulder 360 reflects the growing confidence from surgeons who are recognizing that we have introduced a differentiated solution that can complete the healing triad of (a) fixation, (b) structure and, now with Tetrous, (c) biology – leading to better outcomes for patients,” said Bradley Patt, PhD, Co-founder, Director and CEO.

About Tetrous, Inc.
Founded in 2019, Tetrous, Inc. utilizes next generation advanced technologies for enthesis repair in sports medicine applications. The EnFix family of demineralized bone fiber implants includes EnFix RC®, EnFix TAC® and EnFix ACL™, designed to enhance the natural healing response by supporting biologic reformation at the bone-to-tendon junction. By focusing on clinically validated technologies that reduce failure rates, accelerate recovery, and restore function, Tetrous is helping surgeons achieve consistent, evidence-based results that translate into both short-term return to normal activities and long-term positive outcomes for patients.

Tetrous enjoys significant IP protection for its EnFix family of products with multiple issued patents and, additionally, has an exclusive license to the demineralized bone fiber technology used in its products for sports medicine applications from TheraCell, an ISTO Biologics Company.

Tetrous®, EnFix®, EnFix RC®, EnFix TAC® and EnFix ACL™ are trademarks of Tetrous, Inc.
